Refactor XLogInsert a bit. The rdata entries for backup blocks are now

constructed before acquiring WALInsertLock, which slightly reduces the time
the lock is held. Although I could not measure any benefit in benchmarks,
the code is more readable this way.

* change we allow ourselves to make earlier is to set rdt->data = NULL in
* chain items we have decided we will have to back up the whole buffer
* for. This is OK because we will certainly decide the same thing again
* for those items if we do it over; doing it here saves an extra pass
* over the chain later.

* We add entries for backup blocks to the chain, so that they don't
